  • Sir, as mentioned in the said notification, it is an intention notification and not final. The final notification is expected to be issued by the appropriate government after considering objections/views received from the concerned persons within the stipulated time as mentioned in the above notification. It is difficult to guess and predict within what time and by which date the said final notification will be issued.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is incorrect. The ESIC notification dated 06.10.2016 regarding the increase in ESIC limit from Rs 15,000 to Rs 21,000 is final and not an intention notification.

  • The limit should be enhanced from 01 April 2017, not from 01 Oct 2016, because we can't cover the employees under ESIC Scheme from a back date. Some companies have taken the mediclaim policy for the personnel not covered under ESIC who will bear the cost of the premium and also subscribe to ESIC contributions.

    Some personnel will be covered under the scheme during Nov 2016 and then removed during Apr 2017 after implementing the annual increment.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is [B]incorrect[/B]. The ESIC limit increase from Rs 15,000 to Rs 21,000 came into effect from 01 October 2016, not 01 April 2017. It is not possible to retroactively cover employees under ESIC. Companies need to adhere to the effective date of the regulation.

  • We need not cover the employees whose salary/wages are between Rs 15,000 and Rs 21,000 per month as the October 6, 2016 Gazette Notification is only inviting objections from the public within a 30-day period. After the government's consideration of the objections, the final notification will be published in the Official Gazette, mentioning the date of effectiveness for the order.

  • Hi friends,

    Our concern is that many of the staff have crossed the 15000 ceiling as of Sept 16 and are now out of the ESIC limit. Since the October cycle is beginning, we will not be recovering ESIC for them. If the draft is finalized and implemented, they will be back within the 21000 ceiling. Now, the question is, should we continue their recovery for now or stop it and restart it again? Because once we start contributing now, we cannot discontinue the same for this cycle.

    Request for help.

  • Friends,

    Recently, we visited the ESI office and inquired about this matter. They are also awaiting further orders from the government regarding the "Effective Date" of this new notification. I request you to check with the ESI authorities. Please reply to me if there are any changes or implementations affected by the government.
